Sanyo SCP-2400 announced by Sprint

The Sanyo SCP-2400 was announced by Sprint today. While it looks like a conventional Sanyo flip phone, the SCP-2400 has parental control options that make its target age in the 8-12 range. The controls make it easy to set which calls the handset can make or receive. Data services can also be disabled to avoid suprise charges.

Other features of the Sanyo SCP-2400 include:

1.1"×1.4" 65K color STN display

Ready Link push-to-talk

Voice dialing

Speakerphone

Sprint is charging $29.99 for the Sanyo SCP-2400 along with a 2-year service contract. It will hit stores in July. It will ship in five colors (see image below).
